Professional caregivers take care of an increasing number of migrants with dementia who may show behavioral changes.
Insight into the experiences of professional caregivers concerning the care for people with a migration background who suffer from dementia and behavioral changes.
Semi-structured interviews with 20 professional caregivers providing community and residential care.
The caregivers' experiences focus on behavioral changes itself and on their efforts to offer person-centered care. Caregivers are aware of the mismatch between the cultural background of the client and their relatives and the professional care context. The different care perspectives of relatives and professionals sometimes result in conflict and poor collaboration. Over time, the reflections on experiences result in an awareness that more expertise and support is needed.
Professional caregivers deserve support in their aim to provide high quality care for migrants with dementia and behavioral changes.
专业护理人员照顾的痴呆移民数量不断增加，这些移民可能会出现行为改变。
深入了解专业护理人员在照顾有痴呆和行为改变的移民背景的人方面的经验。
对 20 名提供社区和住宿护理的专业护理人员进行半结构化访谈。
护理人员的经验主要集中在行为改变本身以及他们提供以患者为中心的护理的努力上。护理人员意识到患者及其亲属的文化背景与专业护理环境之间的不匹配。亲属和专业人员的不同护理观点有时会导致冲突和合作不佳。随着时间的推移，对经验的反思使他们意识到需要更多的专业知识和支持。
专业护理人员值得支持，以帮助他们为患有痴呆和行为改变的移民提供高质量的护理。
